Chapter 704: Fire Dragon vs Fire Dragon(1/2)
"Mihawk, what do you think of those Wano warriors who keep talking about the founding of the country?"
On the warship, looking at the dazzling flame beam, Skyler turned his head and asked Mihawk. Mihawk narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, and it seemed that his eagle eyes could not look directly at the bright light.
After hearing Skyler's question, Mihawk thought for a moment and then said: "I think it is literally, opening up the country of Wano."
"In a physical sense?"
"Why not?"
Hearing this, Skyler smiled and patted the fence and said, "Yeah, why not? But this Ace is so unrestrained. He doesn't care about the people who want to sleep at night."
"I'm afraid no one will sleep tonight."
Mihawk crossed his hands on his chest, tilted his head and asked: "Skyler, do you know Nika?"
"I know very little, to say it without humility."
Skyler shrugged. She did know about Nika, and she did know very little. She first knew about Nika's existence because of Dolag's notes, and Enel also recited some of them later.
However, Skyler didn't take it to heart at all about Enilu, a believer. This guy believed in all kinds of religious gods, and it could be said that he accepted everyone who came.
As long as he can understand it, he is willing to believe it, and then look for inspiration on fruit development from the stories of myths and gods.
Through these two people, Skyler vaguely remembered that this Nika seemed to be the sun god.
Of course Mihawk knew that Skyler would not be modest. When she said she knew very little, she must know very little, and the two of them did not want to discuss any related topics, it was just Mihawk who thought of it on a whim.
He looked at the little sun in the sky and said, "Doesn't it look like the Sun God?"
"Not sure"
Skyler frowned, trying to recall the memory of Nika. She remembered that among Dorag's manuscripts, Nika was not a real god who could incarnate the sun, but more like some kind of title given to him.
Mihawk glanced sideways at Skyler and said, "You know more than I thought. I plan to wait until you say it's like it before I deny it."
Skyler twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "I miss the shyness and reserve when we first met. If I had known you were such a bastard, I should have hacked you to death."
"I had a better chance than you. I will kill you before you kill me."
The corners of Mihawk's mouth raised, and Skyler shook his head helplessly and said: "If you like to chat with people about such old topics, then I can let Dorag chat with you.
He seems to know Nika and Qiao Yin Boyin very well. Of course, it may also be a father's blind trust in his son."
"Do you think it's that guy Luffy? Does that person think that fruit can change a person? It seems that I don't have any need to talk to him."
A hint of boredom flashed in Mihawk's eyes, and Skyler frowned and asked, "Is that rubber fruit really so special? I have never understood the reason why it is worth five billion Baileys."
"Maybe it's not the fruit that's amazing, but the ability user. After all, that's the person with abilities who can name a fruit after himself."
"Someone called it rubber before?"
Hearing Skyler's rhetorical question, Mihawk blinked and said, "I feel now that you really know very little. That rubber fruit also has a name, called Nika Fruit.
And it’s not a superhuman type, but an animal type.”
Skyler digested the news Mihawk said, then frowned and asked: "Is this why the red hair values Luffy? Because Luffy ate the fruit he was looking for, that's why he tried to kidnap him so many times.
Walk and fly?”
"I don't know. I haven't asked Shanks, but I don't think so. If he really cares about a fruit, then he will keep it a little bit. He values Luffy, and he should only value Luffy."
Mihawk had already learned from Shanks about his experiences during that time in Windmill Village. Although he didn't ask in detail, Shanks didn't care that Luffy ate the fruit.
Shanks only cared that Luffy ate the fruit. After all, as a person who came from the Roger Pirates, he was born with a resistance to fruits, which could be mild or severe.
Even Bucky, the "scum" of Roger's group, was still brooding over the fact that he swallowed the fruit by mistake, and he hated Shanks for decades because of it.
What the Roger Pirates should pursue is domineering above all else.
When Shanks recounted the incident of Luffy swallowing the fruit, he was disappointed and regretful, because the fruit would more or less distract people from their choice of practice.
A person's energy and concentration are limited, so people who have established goals since childhood should only specialize in one thing and only choose other ways when they reach the end and there is no hope of making any progress.
However, there are very few practitioners who have taken a certain path to the extreme. After reaching the peak, they will choose other paths because their self-esteem does not allow it.
Unless your self-esteem has been crushed, or you have a more important mission than focusing on spiritual practice.
And before he was sure how far Luffy's talent could support him in his journey of domineering, Shanks definitely didn't want him to be distracted by the fruit and delay his own practice.
Not to mention, swallowing Devil Fruit will also impose shackles on oneself. All ability users cannot escape being controlled by the Sea Tower Stone factor. Sea water, Sea Tower Stone, and Sea Tower Stone products will all affect the ability users.
For those who swim in the sea all year round and pursue freedom, the fruit is the greatest lack of freedom. Shanks' regrets probably come from this.
Hearing that Mihawk did not agree with his guess, Skyler did not delve deeper, nor did he say that he changed for Shanks to protect his friend, but asked curiously:
"But I still don't understand why the rubber fruit is of the animal type?"
"Because of Nika, the Nika fruit is of animal type, but that doesn't mean it can't be superhuman. It's just that in a certain era, the meaning of Nika overshadowed the characteristics of rubber."
“Too convoluted”
Skyler shook his head and didn't bother to ask anymore. Instead, he continued to stare at the sky. At this time, the attack of the fire pillar had ended, and Skyler was a little curious about what happened above.
At this time, in Wano Country and outside the Flower Capital, the people who had fled from the Flower Capital, as well as the navy, all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Where is the Flower City?"
An old woman rubbed her eyelids with the heel of her palm in disbelief, put down her hand and looked at the Flower Capital again.
But at this time, there was no sign of the Flower City. Originally, there was a wall between these people and the Flower City. Through the wall, they could still see some buildings of the Flower City.
But at this time, the wall had disappeared, and the original location of the Flower Capital had turned into an abyss, with magma flowing around it and into the entrance of the abyss.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was an explosion from the deep pit, and a water column filling the pit rose up from below. The flowing magma was instantly cooled and condensed, and the water column continued to rise until it reached the height of Fujiyama.
"Wow~"
The water column soaring into the sky spread out from the top, like a solitary mushroom, and scattered in all directions.
"Danger!"
Gu Yinna, who had just been teleported outside the city, saw this and shouted, if such a large water column rushed down like this, it would undoubtedly be a tsunami that would destroy the world.
The people gathered outside the city would probably be defeated by the flood and turned into countless wandering corpses.
After Gu Yina's reminder, Boni and Yamato also reacted. Yamato gritted his teeth and angrily yelled: "That bastard Ace, what on earth is he doing?!"
With this attack, Ace obviously lost his mind. If Luo hadn't reacted quickly enough and understood Ace well enough, they might have been accidentally injured, etc.!
Pony looked around and said, "Where's Luo?!"
Bebo got up from the ground at this time, looked around, and said anxiously: "His saber is also missing."
"Forget about the saber for now! Deal with the flood first!"
At the critical moment, Abel shouted, attracting the attention of a few people who were at a loss. Faced with this shocking flood, Abel could not think of a solution.
This scene reminded him of the scene on New Fish-Man Island not long ago, when a world-destroying tsunami swept across the world, but it was Ace, Yamato and the others who shouldered the heavy burden.
But it doesn't work now, because Ace is still pretending to be the sun in the sky at this moment, and Yamato has also lost some physical strength after the battle with Kaido just now, and there is absolutely no way to solve it in such a short period of time.
"Next, please leave it to me!"
Just as everyone was trying to think of ways to alleviate the flood crisis, a figure among the people of Wano who was trying to comfort everyone quickly jumped to the front of the team.
The person who came was very ugly and had a big head. It was Raizo who hitched a boat on the road and came to the country of Wano. Under the distrustful eyes of Yamato, Boni and others, Raizo suddenly took a scroll into his mouth.
Then he made a series of seals with his fingers, then grabbed the tie of the scroll and pulled hard.
"Wow!"
In an instant, the seemingly short scroll unfolded at extremely high speed, spanning a distance of a thousand meters. On the scroll, densely packed text and pictures also appeared.
Raizo clasped his hands together and shouted: "The art of scrolling! Take water!"
The scroll in mid-air, when Lei Zang's seal words were finished, the words and pictures glowed with white light, and then turned into a giant water pump, actively attracting the falling flood water.
Kanjuro among the crowd also took out his paintbrush tremblingly at this time and said: "Hold on! Raizo!"
As he finished speaking, the huge brush began to paint. Different from the inferior fine brushwork he had shown before, flowers were blooming in his brushwork at this time, and the paintings were both freehand brushwork and fine brushwork.
Inuarashi and Neko Viper, who were not far away from him, noticed this and frowned, doubts inevitably rising in their hearts.
But in just a blink of an eye, Kanjuro completed the painting, and with a swipe of his brush, the painted objects flew around.
"Moqiu! The Bone Diagram of Juyu Mountain!"
The ink-wash mountain peaks have turned into reality and are located around the crowd, surrounding the place into a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
"Boom~"
At this time, the water that could not be attracted by Lei Zang's scroll also surged from low places, like a stormy wave, bombarding the ink mountain peak.
The mountain peaks were dark, but they withstood the erosion of the flood. In the valley, the people who found themselves escaping the flood kept shouting and cheering.
Seeing this, Yamato also breathed a sigh of relief and decided to teach Ace that bastard a lesson later. However, Pony said very puzzledly: "Why is there so much water in the Flower City, and it's Danshui?"
Gu Yina frowned at this moment and looked towards the original site of the Flower Capital. Then she seemed to remember something and said, "I heard my grandfather say that Wano Country is like an umbrella cover or a lotus leaf.
Perhaps this flower city is not made of solid rocks and solid soil like the Red Earth Continent, but is suspended above this large pool."
After hearing Gu Yina's guess, Robin, who was sorting out the fallen rosters with Beibo in the distance, straightened up, frowned, looked around, and then said: "Strange, there are no Yarchman mangroves or mangroves here.
